Falling Out

By -
Day 1,
I looked back...
A few footsteps from here
Not too far yet not too near
Still, I don't understand how
How I can look at you now
And still not see you.

Day 2,
I tried to tell you...
You listened but weren't paying attention
Bodies intertwined as souls fought to repel
Still, I don understand one minor thing
How could you be so calm
As it stormed on all realms of our love?

Day 3,
I wrote it down
Every bit of hurt, every bit of pain,
I let ink and paper be the judge of character
My face leaked droplets of devotion
Cleansing my soul of addiction
It's a good sign, isn't it?

Day 4,
I walked towards the door
but my feet glued themselves to your floor
couldn't move a muscle, I couldn't flinch,
but effortlessly let my thoughts wander,
My muscles tensed, and I'm giving up.
Wait, is this the end? 
But it can't be.
Right?

Day 5
I'm still breathing
Pumping air into a lifeless doll
morning sunshine yet I'm a darkened soul
You made sure I lost the spark
How could u walk so fast
Knowing I can't keep up

Day 6...

Day 6...

Six days is a lot...

Isn't it?

WHERE IT HURTS

 WHERE IT HURTS She has her faith in you, She has her trust in you, For you, she'd die a million times, For you, she'd make a million rhymes. All her wealth all her strength, She'd give you all without a doubt, But no one cares what she does, So you hit her where it hurts. She buries it all, endures it all, She falls apart, she breaks in whole, She tries to climb, you pull her down, She drops a tear and yes, you won! To herself, she keeps it all, Hides her pain and smiles to all, And no one cares how she feels, So you hit her where it hurts. "I believe in you" you say, " believe in us" And for believing in you she'd pay, because it's all just a talk. "We are one" you say, She'd barely see your point, Since she'd give and give, but you 'll hit her where it hurts.

The heart of a weakling     Kamoyo   Hey guyysss! As promised, today I come to you with a poem written in swahili as per so many of you guys' requests. I know the language hits home but I lowkey cringed while writing this because somehow everything sounds a lot deeper in Swahili. That's our language y'all and I have to say, I really am proud of it.  Personally, I think Swahili is quite romantic *insert smiley face*, am I wrong?  Now, before some of you come at me calling me delusional and stuff I'd recommend you start listening to more meaningful swahili songs (most of them are old by the way) OR reading some poems written in the language. Trust me, this is something you won't regret. If interested in my 'recommendations' drop a comment below, email me, text or reach out to my insta page. Either way,  I'm not that hard to find.
